Hoes Heights has deep roots and quiet streets

Named after former farm owner Grandison Hoe, the neighborhood of Hoes Heights is a quiet suburb in North Baltimore. Historically an African American community, for years the area’s 148-foot Roland Water Tower served as a beacon of safety, welcoming Black residents and providing them with a sense of comfort. Built in 1905, the tower still stands tall and residents of Hoes Heights remain equally hospitable.
